how I found the agency
"On and cold and snowy night in Moscow, Russia where I am currently living, I took a break from the questionable practice of Googling myself to research literary agents in the UK -- that’s how I discovered The Andrew Lownie Agency. I was immediately drawn to Andrew’s hands-on, personalized approach to his clients, his comprehensive knowledge of the book business, and the fact that he is a writer himself. So I dashed off a quick email and a scant two hours later, to my great pleasure, I had a response. Andrew’s enthusiasm and his razor-sharp analysis of my career and what needs-to-be-done to take me to the next level and beyond is a breath of fresh air. I no longer have the time or desire to Google myself; I am too busy writing."
